Everton confirm pre-season plans by announcing fundraising fixture for Ukraine

Everton have announced that their pre-season plans are now complete after confirming they will host Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv in a pre-season friendly at Goodison Park on Friday 29 July (kick-off 7.45pm). Proceeds from the fixture – the Blues' final outing ahead of the 2022/23 Premier League season – will be donated to humanitarian charities supporting the people of war-torn Ukraine.

Tickets for the game will be priced at £15 for adults (18 to 64-year-olds) and £5 for concessions (under-18s and over-65s) and will go on sale to 2022/23 Season Ticket Members and Official Members from 10am on Wednesday 13 July. The general sale of tickets will commence at 10am on Friday 15 July and there will be no hospitality available for this game so members will need to purchase tickets through the general admission avenues.

Supporters will be given the option to add a donation of £1, £5 or £10 at the point of purchase, with the money raised bolstering the total raised for charity through ticket sales and other matchday activities. Everton have previously supported the people of Ukraine by wearing the logo of the Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal on shirt sleeves for the final 10 games of the 2021/22 season.

The club also contributed £250,000 to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal in March – a total matched by Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and chairman Bill Kenwright. The fixture against Dynamo Kyiv, the side Vitalii Mykolenko joined the Blues from in January, will be their fourth and final pre-season game of summer 2022.

Frank Lampard’s side will play two games in the USA against Arsenal (Saturday 16 July, midnight going into Sunday UK time) and Minnesota United (Wednesday 20 July, 1am Thursday UK time), before a trip to Blackpool on Sunday 24 July (3pm).
